Just saw this one with Reese Witherspoon. She does an amazing job.
It's a story of transformation, of reconnecting with Mother Nature, and of empowerment (especially for the divine feminine).
The fact that it's based on a true story makes it even better. This woman fell into a slump of drug addiction and grief, and decided to hike a very long stretch of the Pacific coast to regain her livelihood. The movie is not shy about depicting the shadows of her past, and along the trail, she relives the memories and comes to terms with her karma.
One of the more profound realizations she reaches near the end is that redemption is something that's always been with her, and that her foibles were not in vain. She also speaks of the sacredness and mystery of life.
I walked out of the theater feeling a bit ecstatic, and wanting to make the best of things. To me, fine art is inspirational, and that's exactly what this film is.
Highly recommend Wild!
